Chapter 122: Armed Escort

In August 2027, the first batch of 500 soldiers who have completed their training and adjustment will embark on the road of armed escort for the first time in a modified combat Hengyue-class spacecraft.

What they want to protect is a fleet of 4 Hengyue-class spaceships, and this time, due to the addition of combat Hengyue-class spaceships, Bai Lian deliberately took a detour, and will encounter quite a lot of star thief forces along the way.

"I don't know who will rob whom!" A soldier was muttering on the spaceship, his name was Kashimasuke, a native of the Rising Sun Country, and he couldn't imagine that when he first applied to join the Lunar City Immigration, he was actually obsessed with the mental model within the Upper East Galaxy Company.

In short, he felt extremely ashamed of this matter until now, it was a black history that he definitely didn't want others to know, fortunately, soon after becoming an immigrant, he became a soldier in the special service team, surrounded by people he didn't know, and the possibility of his secret exposure was extremely low.

It wasn't duty time, he stood at the window of the spaceship and pulled out his iPhone

R started playing games, and the recent launch of Sega's new bullet hell game is quite to his taste.

He was originally a master of the game, and his nervous reaction speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, just like opening a plug-in, and he easily reached a high score.

Just finished a game, and when he saw the score, he noticed that the high score record he had just brushed was surpassed again, "It's Kim Tae-an again!" Kashimasuke had dead fish eyes, a dissatisfied look.

He knew that Jin Tai'an was originally a master of e-sports games in the Holy Kingdom, and like their former leader Ning, whether it was the speed of nerve reaction or the speed of finger reaction, it was naturally stronger than ordinary people, and it was not impossible to surpass him, and what he hated was that this guy was always active when he had just scored a high score, and he was obviously ill-intentioned.

As the ship moved forward, Kashimasuke felt that the job was relatively easy, and it wasn't long before they broke into the asteroid field and encountered their first enemy.

A group of star thieves, seeing them in 5 Hengyue-class spaceships, it was like the gap between giants and gnomes, and they didn't show any intention of retreating, was it really self-defeating?

Kashimasuke smiled, stuffed his mobile phone, and counted the unmanned units under his control through the personal assistance module, ready to fight at any time.

Unfortunately, his mind was destined to be in vain.

Because the enemy is too weak, before the enemy's ship can get close to the range, the beam cannon will preemptively blow up the small ship in the distance.

Kashimasuke seemed to hear the cheers of the crew of the beam cannon manipulating the spaceship, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he thought that they had won another merit, wondering if they would be promoted soon.

In the combat department, merit cannot be directly exchanged, but it is a key factor used to improve their position, as long as they are promoted to the level of squad leader, they can receive the first phase of physical enhancement, and he will definitely be confident that he will defeat Kim Tae-an at that time.

It didn't take long for them to encounter several groups of star thieves one after another, and even some of them could not see their true faces and attacked by unmanned units, and they probably planned to intercept them first, and then show up, but unfortunately, for the fleet of the East Galaxy Company, all the star thieves were scum with less than 5 combat effectiveness.

The fleet is advancing while fighting, and the way without detouring saves at least 50 million kilometers of voyage, which is equivalent to 10 days, so Bai Lian is very satisfied with the changes brought about by the armed escort spacecraft that joined.

The only thing she was looking forward to was why she hadn't seen the Lighthouse Nation's fleet yet, and if the two sides met, there would definitely be an interesting collision.

Half a month later, the fleet was stationed on asteroid 297, and on the territory of Canaan, they informed the port staff as usual to complete the delivery of materials and dispose of 3,000 tons of fresh fish and live shrimp imported from Taoyuan Port on Mars.

The harbor of asteroid 297 has a population of nearly 2,000, but there are still relatively few ways to entertain, so the fleet did not stay long and decided to go directly to the next stop on the trade route.

Before leaving, the port staff sent them away with pitiful eyes, and lifted them into the air, less than an hour after the fleet left the port, a new fleet appeared in front of them.

The Free Beacon Nation's fleet consists of 2 large spaceships and 4 medium-sized spaceships, and the goal is to conduct interplanetary trade.

In the past, such encounters would not have been anything special, and sometimes they could have been even rare and surprising, but with the recent changes in the foreign policy of the Lighthouse Nation, things have changed.

"Doot toot!" Kashimasuke, who was staying in the spaceship, heard the alarm and hurriedly went over to gather, and when he heard the discussion of soldiers like him, Kashimasuke immediately shouted, "Do you want to hold an inspection?" Suspect we are carrying prohibited items? Are they looking for an opportunity to provoke us? ”

As the younger generation of the Rising Sun Country, Kashimasuke has never had any reverence for the Beacon Country's father, but is more resentful of the lighthouse country's father who is closer to time, so he has no good feelings at all.

"Assemble!" While they were discussing, the captain in front of them came over and stood in front of them, and there was silence below.

The captain who completed the first phase of physical enhancement looks no different from the past, after all, genetic adjustment rarely uses mutated gene fragments, even if the effect is very good, it can maintain a stable genome, so that the physical fitness can be doubled or tripled, but it is easy for people to develop in an inhuman direction, and all kinds of problems arise, and the East Galaxy Company will never contact this forbidden area.

However, the soldiers below clearly remember that a few days ago, the captain also controlled 205 unmanned attack aircraft, breaking the record of controlling unmanned units at the same time, and if one day they became enemies of each other, they would definitely be killed in a short time.

The captain announced: "Everyone, listen! Get ready for self-defense! ”

"Are you going to fight?" Kashimasuke thought with joy, "Let's fight!" ”

At this time, the captains of the five spaceships were connected to the communication window of the White Lotus, and the lighthouse country ships approaching them on the screen were using low-energy beams to illuminate them, and it seemed that they were really planning to do it.

The captains' faces were terrible, some of them couldn't bear it, similar things happened several times in succession, and it was simply impossible and unrealistic to keep calm any longer.

What kind of censorship, it sounds reasonable, once it is treated differently, the spacecraft of the East Galaxy Company needs to be reviewed, and other countries do not need to be censored, it is fundamentally discriminatory, they will not accept the reason for the so-called censorship, so if they want to fight, they should be mentally prepared.

"Captains, let's wait!" Bai Lian said happily, calming the captains who seemed to know the news that the East Galaxy Company was going to open a film with the Freedom Beacon Country, thinking that the counterattack was true, they couldn't bite people like mad dogs.

She still remembered that her master taught her that East Galaxy was a responsible company, not like a hegemonic country, which always conquered other countries by force, and if she wanted to do it, she had to find a reason.

She silently pondered how far the two sides were, and waited honestly.

Seeing that the fleet of the East Galaxy never stopped, the soldiers of the Lighthouse Country, who had been arrogant after several successful provocations, also became anxious and impatient, and slowly, the distance between the two sides was shortened to 500 kilometers.

"It's almost time!" Bai Lian calculated the time, "I'm so sorry, the unmanned unit operator and the Space Marine Corps can't be on the scene... Because, today is my stage! ”

She muttered to herself, and a surprising scene appeared, one of the five ships, where one of the trade ships was illuminated by the beam, somehow exploded suddenly.

The fiery red glare can be seen from a distance of hundreds of kilometers, and it is clearer through the enlargement of the aerial picture, and the sudden great change made the soldiers of the lighthouse country stunned, looking at the console in front of them suspiciously, wondering if it was the wrong parameter, causing the beam cannon to suddenly output too high power, and it really became an attack?

The lighthouse country has also developed a beam cannon, but unfortunately, compared to the East Galaxy Company, after Cao Chuan's two optimizations, the beam cannon with very high combat value is obviously different from the two, and at this distance, it is actually impossible to cause actual damage to the spacecraft.

It's a pity that no one will know the truth, the only thing that needs to be known is that the Lighthouse State took the initiative to provoke the East Galaxy Company and caused accidental injuries, and their counterattack was just enough.

Less than 10 seconds after the explosion, Bai Lian controlled 5 spaceships to make a void turn at a speed of 50 km/s and a radius of more than 3,000 kilometers.

Turning around and approaching the Lighthouse Nation fleet again, the combat spacecraft lurking in the fleet revealed its true colors for the first time, with 4 beam cannons on the side of the ship, 1 beam cannon on the bow of the ship, and 1 beam cannon on the stern also fully automatic turning, aiming, locking and firing! Ignore the soldiers sitting on it.

“BOOM!” Bai Lian spoke softly, and as soon as the words fell,

6 dazzling rays of light pierced the void and landed on the hulls of the 4 armed medium-sized spaceships of the Lighthouse Nation fleet, and the outermost hull of the medium-sized spaceship that was hit slowly melted, followed by the evaporation and outpouring of air inside the ship, and the harsh sirens tirelessly harassed the soldiers inside the spaceship, reminding them that if they didn't do anything, even if their spaceship didn't explode, it would be okay to turn into a coffin to bury them.

Bai Lian didn't do any further action, and went straight to the second big turn, diving headlong into the vast universe to escape.

The soldiers of the Lighthouse Nation, who left behind the 4 runaway spaceships, looked at each other, desperate and powerless, and could only wait for the rescue that would come at some point, and spend this long and unforgettable time.
